Kyrgios is currently spending time off from a lengthy injury layoff and it is because of this reason he has missed all the Grand Slams this year.

The former world number 13 will be hoping to return to court as soon as possible and restart from where he stopped last year which was undoubtedly his best year at the highest level.

Kyrgios played his maiden and till now only Grand Slam final in 2022 at Wimbledon where he was defeated by legendary Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic with a score of 4–6, 6–3, 6–4, 7–6(7–3).
